Kenyans Staying Abroad Remain Tribalist Despite Being Far from Home.

The tragedy of tribalism in Kenya has evolved not only in Kenya but even abroad. Kenyans are forming friendship and even fall in love along their tribal lines. The tribalism attitude that Kenyans who stay abroad have developed recently, not only put a sharp pain to many who view them as “change to our society” but has left those who don’t have large numbers of tribesmen wondering who to run to incase of need.

Although this is not a surprise that many Kenyans still hold on to tribal politics, tribal friendships, tribal foods, tribal love and more so engrossed into tribal cultures which have nothing to do with well-being of the society like FGM, it is hard to withstand a Kenyan who will even bother bring such a topic a thousand miles away from home. A Kenyan who will meet you and ask several tribal related questions like; “unatoka wapi, we ni Mkikuyu au Mjaka or Mluhya”. This leaves me wondering if at all we will be one country, one people and one tribe called Kenya.
